A mail with proof

Yesterday I got the sweetest mail from Anne-Sophie and it also contained this photo.

Have a look at the attached photo, mom. I'm using it...

She's busy at architecture school with a project she and her group is making in between lectures.

They were told to make a piece of furniture for storing from two items, which were not optinal. Anne-Sophie's group had to make it from an armchair and a hoover!

It's so interesting to see the different stages they are told to go through, in order to create their new piece of furniture. Anne-Sophie has made so many drawings, and in order to make a new item they had to completely take apart the hoover and the chair.

By now it's looking really good, and in the photo Anne-Sophie is at the school sewing a piece, which is supposed to be used on the project.

oh this is sweet and must have had your mom's heart melting !!!it must be so interesting to study & work on such projects. i find that nowaways young people are more informed and have a fair idea of what they want or like to do. i remember that back in my time, most students aged 17-18 were a bit lost and not sure of what college/school/ university to choose. I was one of them !!I hope Anne-Sophie will enjoy the use of your ex-sewing machine & achieveing this project !

I totally agree with you about the young people being confused about their future.When I had Anne-Sophie's age, well then I got Anne-Sophie! But before that and coming home from England, I didn't really know what to begin.

Actually I didn't start on my higher education until I was about 24.

I thought that Anne-Sophie wanted to take a break after taking her GCSE, and then start to work and go see the world. But she wanted to continue right away. And she has already been to so many places on trips.

She loves her new school and the projects and the lectures. I'm so happy about that. :)))
